"For his third wife Robert (Gordon's) .... choice fell on a Highland woman, Margaret MacKenzie, daughter of Sir Kenneth MacKenzie of Coull. Their son Kenneth, who married the widow of Robert Arbuthnott, grandson of the 1st Viscount of Arbuthnott, was the last Gordon Laird of Cluny of the second house. Before his death in the early 1750s the estate was already in other hands. His son Robert, who died in 1757 was a plain farmer in Kirkcaldy. The end of the second house of Gordon seems to have taken place in a confusion of financial difficulties and Jacobite sentiments. The story is to be found in the Gordon of Cluny papers in the Scottish Record Office, and a sorry story it is."
